It's hard to believe that we've been open for three years. When we first opened, customers warned us that the first year would be the toughest. At the one-year mark, people started saying the first *three years* were hard. And here we are.

We are so lucky to have amazing customers who support us, who spread the word, and who believe in the store's mission. As the owner, I can say I'm equally grateful to have amazing employees who are passionate about bringing vegan eco goods to Seattle. Two of my staff members have worked in the store for all three years--an incredible commitment! I wouldn't be here without them.

We've lost a few brands, as businesses close or change direction, but we've found amazing new brands too. And to this day, our best selling lines continue to grace the shelves. We have a lot of wonderful brands. Ethletics, Armed Angels, Synergy, Nomads, and Crystalyn Kae are customer and staff favorites.

Come on by this weekend (May 18th and 19th) to help us celebrate three years. We'll have sales and snacks as a thank you to you!

We're off to a great start. We have new items in store for winter, including cozy socks, down-free puffy jackets, and denim--all for men and women.

Our nonprofit of the month is the Northwest Innocence Project, an organization that provides legal support to wrongfully convicted people.

Retail is slow in January That's why it was disappointing to hear that our power will be shut off on Sunday, January 13th for maintenance. We will be closed that day. We are normally open 7 days a week because every sale counts. So to offset this zero sale day, we're having a Power to the People sale! This Saturday only (January 12th), everything will be 15% off and we'll donate 10% of all sales to the Northwest Innocence Project. So come on by! Thank you and we for your support!

And stay tuned for more fun events in February (such as a visit from some special bunnies).

It's fall. The leaves are turning colors, and the days are getting colder and shorter. It seems to be a lot of people's favorite season. In the store, we're enjoying sweater weather. We have a lot of cozy, wool-free sweaters and ponchos. Our Save the Duck jackets are selling fast, and new scarves and hats are arriving weekly.

What else is going on?

On November 15th, we're having a Vegan Appreciation Night. We're open late and open to all. Come in for sales and snacks and to get a head start on holiday shopping.

We are closed Thanksgiving Day. We will have Black Friday and Small Business Saturday sales. And a portion of all sales this month will go to the Bittersweet Autism Foundation.

It's kind of a big deal...

We are so excited to be planning our second anniversary! In a fickle world, where a lot of small businesses don't make it to the first-year mark, we're happy to be turning two. And we couldn't have done it without you! Our customers are loyal and are proving that there is a demand for fair, eco-friendly, vegan clothing.

The store wouldn't be in such great shape if it weren't for the wonderful staff you see day in and day out. I'm forever grateful to them, especially employees One and Two who have been with me from the start! That's commitment!

Vital Action Project Fundraising Sale

Our nonprofit for the month of February is vital Action Project. Our very own Brit took a working vacation to Nicaragua recently and helped protect endangered turtle hatchlings as well as clean plastic debris off beaches and sensitive coastal habitats.

We're donating a portion of every sale all month long to Vital Action Project. And on the 24th, we'll have a store-wide sale and donate 10% of the day's sales to them. Learn about this project and how Vital Action Project is helping animals and the earth.

Pigs Peace Sanctuary, a pig rescue facility in Stanwood, WA, is our nonprofit of the month for January. A portion of every sale all month long will go to them (and all our sale items are an additional 20% off through the 15th!
